Usage

In addition to downloading map images from the OSM server, Locations also supports local maps, which can be downloaded through the Installer. You can also create your own maps if your city is not available. For more information, refer to the Create Offline Maps section below.

Map

Use the MAP view to manage Tags with options to save, edit or send. MAP view also allows users to browse maps with zoom in and zoom out for accurate locating. If you get lost while browsing, simply tap the REFRESH button to return to your current position. It's that easy.

List

LIST view is a a centralized place to view all of your Tags. The LIST view is a combination of your own saved Tags and Tags received by friends.
Selecting a Tag takes you to the exact position of the Tag in the MAP view.

Save & Send Tags

Once you are connected to GPS, saving and sending tags to friends is fun and simple.

Save a Tag

After the message box appears, tap directly into the text boxes under Edit Title and Edit Messages to add your Tag title or message.

After entering your title or message, press SAVE, at which point your newly created Tag will appear in bot MAP and LIST views.

In the MAP view, tapping on the text of your Tag provides further options to edit or send your your Tag to a friend.

Architecture

Locations is a UI application, communicating with the diversity-daemon dbus interface to get all the data it needs.
What Locations does and shows is based on and through diversity-daemon, like tag management, sharing, map downloading and GPS status.

Design

Locations uses the EFL library to implement UI.
Synced with diversity-daemon, Locations has objects, world and viewport concepts. There is a dbus wrapper layer for the diversity-daemon.
In the UI, we have widgets like dialogs, menus, different objects like tags, map tilesets, etc.

In control part, we have a nav object for controlling the navigation, showing the tileset.

Create Offline Maps
